Hanna Rosin writes on the iPad and young children. The beginning could have appeared anywhere, the middle in any number of magazines, the end in only a small handful. And a rather relevant topic at the moment in this house, where Good Morning is spoken as “Where the iPad gone!”

rmed with a plan for the back-end, the rubber hits the road with the installation and configuration of the system chosen for the project.

Each system of course has its own way of doing things, and developing a plan on paper into an actual working system is always a bit of an act of translation. The likelihood of a successful realization of a plan within a particular system is increased mostly by one thing: experience with that system (smarts notwithstanding).

Engaging.net’s experience is with ExpressionEngine — as users of its predecessor, pMachine, we’ve been using EE from the moment it was released.

With EE, the system itself needs to be installed, as well as the software it rests on (see the ExpressionEngine Requirements page). Then we can install and configure the add-ons and build out the channels, fields, categories, statuses and member groups.
